Thompson Hine partner Edward DeLisle was a contributor in this year's Deltek Clarity Government Contracting Industry Study.
Now in its 17th year, the Deltek GovCon Clarity Study delivers a real‑world view of how government contractors across the U.S. and Canada are operating as expectations for speed rise and tolerance for error shrinks. The findings are based on proprietary survey data from 917 contractors and qualitative insight from industry experts.
This year's report reveals:
- A growing tension between speed and control that now defines competitiveness
- The impact of diversification on resilience across markets and contract types
- A widening gap between AI adoption and governance readiness
- How compliance and audit readiness increasingly shape eligibility
- Why integrated systems are emerging as a key separator among top performers
